Garfield needs to hit all the blocks at the top of the screen with a burp-propelled mouse. Once Garfield has collected a mouse from the cage, just send the rodent airborne with a click of the computer mouse. Use the computer mouse to position the fat cat under the falling mouse and send it flying upward again. Fowl Shot In this game, you'll use Garfield's spring-loaded "Bark-o-Launcher" to launch chickens at the target. Aim the recliner by moving the mouse up and down and from side to side. Hold the computer mouse button down to increase the power, then release to send the chicken into flight. Dunk tank Binky the clown is asking for trouble and it's up to you to give it to him. Use the computer mouse to help Garfield take aim at the moving target. Move the mouse up and down and from side to side to aim Garfield. Hold the computer mouse button down to increase the power then release to toss your ball and dunk the dastardly clown. The counter in the bottom of the screen tells you how many balls you have left. The only good clown is a wet clown. Hack Attack Garfield is up against an army of precious Nermals, all showering him with love in the form of deadly hearts. The only defense against all this cuteness? Hack up an arsenal of slimy, disgusting hairballs, of course. Use the mouse to position Garfield under a Nermal and click to send a big wet ball of hair skyward. But beware - the more Nermals you help Garfield destroy, the faster they'll move and the closer they'll get to the big orange cat. Disco Jon Jon is a dancing fool, but without your help, he's got two left feet. Follow the color sequence of the flashing buttons at the bottom of the screen, and use the computer mouse to click the buttons in the same order that the computer plays them. Every time you make a mistake, one of Jon's "friends" will lose interest in his moves - but play that funky music correctly and he'll boogie all night. Dress a nerd Some people might say that it's impossible for Jon to get any nerdier - but your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make it happen. Just use the computer mouse to click and drag clothes from the closet onto Jon and see what crazy outfits you can come up with. Squash a spider These arachnids have a hankering for something tasty, and it's up to you to make sure Garfield's pizza doesn't end up as spider chow. Use the mouse to move the rolled-up newspaper, and click to swat uninvited dinner guests before they reach the table. Hint: swatting a glowing yellow spider will slow all the other spiders down for a little bit - and don't let them drink the coffee...it'll cost ya. Odie Maze Odie isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, so he's going to need your help to get to his fire hydrant. Use the mouse to slide puzzle pieces and connect the sections of road to make a path from dog to hydrant. Odie will be forever grateful. If you get stuck, you can rollover the "HINT" button for some help. Whack-a-rat You dirty rats! There's nothing nastier than a lab full of repulsive rodents-and it's up to you to keep these creeps in their crate. Use your computer mouse to move the mallet, and click to whack those rats into next week. Whack as many as you can before time runs out. Matching Put on your thinking cap and flip these cards to find the pairs of matching items. Just click on the card you want to turn over. If you happen to run into a "wild" card, try clicking it again. Soda shaker Garfield is looking for a nice cold drink, but Odie has other plans. The devious dog has used his Shake-o-Matic to make sure three of every four cans of cola are ready to explode all over the place. Help Garfield watch as the computer shuffles the cans, keeping an eye on the one can which won't cause a super-carbonated explosion! Build a Character Jon with a fuzzy orange tail? Strange things are going on in this activity... Now you can create your favorite Garfield character! Use the mouse to change the characters that appear in the three sections. Find pieces that match, or mix them up to create your own crazy characters.
